Recommended Panel Beater - South Brisbane

[LineItUp]

Hi everyone,

Wow crap day! Took my car to the usual detailer I use in Annerley... picked it up and drove it home, noticed a flake of paint missing from my front bumper - (serves me right for being lazy and letting someone else wash it, live in a share house... it doesn't even have a hose!)

went back to them and got the usual 'that didn't happen here' crap...

Anyway I now need to get my front bumper repainted in QX1

Mates have previously had cars painted (particular R33's) and had the paint flaking off the bumper due to it being plastic and flexing... I want a proper job as the '35 is my pride and joy - Only just got the front windows tinted on Friday

Luckily I fly to lots of random places with work, so I can afford to be without my car for a few days from time to time.

Also need to get the back passenger side quarter panel and bumper repainted (the car has a tiny pin dint just on the join and I am a perfectionist!)

While I'm being OCD I'll be chasing a front wheel as mine has minor rash on it, given the immaculate condition of the rest of them I'd rather just find another scmick '35 wheel and swap it on than get it sanded back and refinished

Any advised panel beaters would be appreciated, seen to much dodgy stuff done on cars to just rock up and see how it goes to any random panel beater. I live in Moorooka but I'm happy to travel for a quality job (and its plastic so it wont rust; I'd rather spend more to get it done properly than rush, do it on the cheap and have to get it done multiple times)

Thanks guys!

Camerons Bodyworks in Coopers Plains. I've used them before a few times and so have others. They deal with a lot of imports too, so give them a go.

As for wheels, it would probably be easier and cheaper to get them repaired/refinished. I've got a mobile wheel repairer coming on Tuesday to fix a couple of my wheels on my Merc. If he's any good I'll pass you his number.

Legend,

Only reason I was keen on finding another stocky wheel is the Nissan paint on the wheels is pretty awesome and it isn't just flat silver, something called hyper silver or something like that? (my old man works for a Nissan dealer)

But your Merc's wheels will probably be the same thing (unlike VW's that have flat paint on their wheels!)

If it turns out well I'll probably give it a go

Thanks mate,

Glen,

The wheel repairer is highly recommended! I told him to expect your call, just make sure you tell him the color of your wheel and give him a couple of days notice depending where you are.
